WARNING
This product is designed primarily to enhance the ap-
pearance of the vehicle and to shield the occupants
from ordinary weather conditions. Do not rely in any
way on the components of this product to contain
occupants within the vehicle, or to protect against
injury or death in the event of an accident. This top will
not protect the occupants from falling objects. Never
operate vehicle in excess of manufacturer’s specica-
tions.
WEAR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES
Read and follow, precisely, all installation instructions
provided when installing top. Failure to do so may result
in a poor tting top and could place occupants of the
vehicle in a potentially dangerous situation.
Installation Tips
Before you begin installing this bikini assembly,
read all instructions thoroughly. Below are a few
tips to make this installation easier.
For a smooth t:
For ease in installation, the bikini should be
installed at temperatures above 72 °F. Below
this temperature, the bikini may contract an
inch or more, making it dicult to t to the
vehicle.
It is normal for a bikini to contract and wrinkle
when stored in the shipping carton. Within a
few days after the installation, the bikini will
relax and the wrinkles will disappear.

Care and Maintenance of your Bestop Top
Your top is made of the finest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the
maximum possible wear, it will need periodic cleaning and maintenance.
Washing:The top fabric should be washed often using soap, warm water and a soft
bristle brush. Rinse with clear water to remove all traces of soap. A vinyl protector
can be used on the vinyl side of the fabric.
Water: Seeping through at the seams may be stopped by applying 3-M Scotchgard®
on the inside of the seams. Rips in the fabric may be repaired with Bondex® iron on
patches. Iron the patches to the Inside of the top, carefully following the Bondex®
instructions.
Snaps: Keep snaps cleaned and lubricated with silicone to help prevent snaps from
sticking to the studs. If a snap does become stuck to a stud, use a screwdriver and
GENTLY pry apart to prevent permanent damage to the snap or the top fabric.
